Minnesota Vikings Come to Wisconsin

Green Bay, WI. It's a different world up there. Where else does it not feel strange to crack a beer at 9 am? The Vikings played poorly and I nearly went to volunteer my services at QB, but I decided instead to soak in the ambiance of the place. I was surprised by the number of Vikings fans. I went incognito at first, but once I realized the Vikes needed a boost and the weather warmed, I took off my hoody and showed my purple pride. The kids in front of me kept me fed by picking out all of the purple Skittles after I told them they would get "Purple Power" and end up like me if they ate them. I guess they would rather aspire to be like my buddy Scott in the hard hat and his nephew. Scott wasn't out of place at all in this get up. The tailgating was a lot of fun and despite the Vikings loss, I had a good time in Lambeau. Thanks Scott, for inviting me along!
